Natural Gelatin and Collagen Supplements for Support of Joints Cartilage Skin Care and Digestive Health

At Healthy and Agile we know that collagen production ceases in the body at around age 25. This has a profound effect not only on our skin, but also on our joints with a quarter of the adult population suffering from joint problems. Wear and tear of the joint cartilage is not just an effect of ageing but is also brought about by mechanical stress. Stress and pressures from today’s modern life can also cause digestive upsets such as leaky gut syndrome which can have a profound effect on how we feel and function.

Our gelatin and collagen supplements help to alleviate these problems. Gelatin is a natural foodstuff with many commercial uses and chemically, gelatin is a pure protein which is completely safe and effective when used as a supplement. As the body cannot produce all the amino acids we need we rely on our diet which is often lacking nutritionally to provide our daily requirements. Our Vital range of supplements will increase the amount of these essential elements in the body.

Our Vital range of products provide collagen hydrolysate through the use of gelatin. Collagen hydrolysate is gelatin that has been processed more intensively to break up the proteins into smaller bits. The amino acid profile is the same, coming from the same source but it reacts differently to liquids. Gelatin (which gels) needing to be dissolved in hot water while collagen hydrolysate having a much smaller molecular structure dissolves in cold liquids and is rapidly digested.

Collagen is a protein making up some 70% of joint cartilage. Collagen and gelatin target joints, bone and cartilage and of course our skin, hair and nails. When taken orally it is absorbed and accumulates in targeted areas encouraging cellular regrowth. Thus it relieves joint pain, increases joint mobility and improves skin quality, increasing hydration and plumping up the dermis. Gelatin’s amino acids also benefit the lining of the digestive tract helping to reduce inflammation and keep the stomach lining healthy which keeps digestive enzymes balanced. This is a superior joint supplement being a short chain amino acid which is target specific.

Collagen is an important building block at a cellular level being up to 30% of the human body’s total protein. It is found in skin and bone, teeth and tendons, cartilage and ligaments, so any joint supplement containing collagen is going to improve protein supply to the whole body.

Our Healthy and Agile supplements are ideal for anyone who desires to improve how they feel and function and how they look. It is an easy protein source for those who prefer to not consume a lot of meat. Any sport participant, professional or amateur will benefit through the maintenance and improvement of their muscle power and muscle mass. Any person wishing to improve the integrity of their skin, hair and nails will see improvement in these areas.
